The cadres were those days described as ‘highly brainwashed’. With the coming of Taliban in Afghanistan, the freshly inducted militant were ‘upgraded’ as ‘highly indoctrinated’.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBoth these descriptions have now replaced by ‘radicalised’ cadres, particularly after the emergence of AQ and ISIS. So, currently, the security discourse, not only in Kashmir but in other parts of the country and the region, centers on radicalisation, counter-radicalisation and de-radicalisation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBased on my own experience of decades in dealing with this issue, I find his conclusions and recommendation very relevant and timely and hope that this would encourage young scholars and even experts in the field, to further build on his efforts to create better understanding of one of the most serious challenges facing our society. I commend his initiative.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eC D Sahay Distinguished Fellow, VIF and Former head of R\u0026amp;AW, Govt. of India\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNumber Of Pages:\u003c\/b\u003e 236\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/b\u003e 30-12-2019\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDetails:\u003c\/b\u003e Radicalization in India: An Exploration\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9788194163466\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.3 x 6.4 x 0.9 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pentagon Press LLP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50026010247472,"sku":"DRG.PentagonPressLLP_9788194163466","price":582.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/81aOwcqVAIL.jpg?v=1756392862","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/bn\/products\/radicalization-in-india-an-exploration","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
